CURSOR-PHYS-X (numeric)

Identifies the physical column in which the cursor is located, as opposed to the CURSOR-X property, which identifies the logical column.

When a column is hidden, explicitly moving the cursor to that column via CURSOR-PHYS-X reveals the column. If SEARCH-TEXT finds a value in a hidden column and positions the cursor there, this also reveals the column. In general, the grid does not allow the cursor to occupy a hidden column.

Notes:
  • To move the cursor to the first non-hidden, non-heading column, you can set CURSOR-PHYS-X to the predefinied value of GRID-FIRST-VISIBLE-COLUMN, which is defined in acugui.def.
  • When either CURSOR-PHYS-X or CURSOR-X is set, both properties are updated appropriately after the cursor is moved.
